OK...so maybe I misunderstood....did you mean a VF-1A cannon fodder in a Hikaru TV GBP armor? If so, maybe you were looking at this "catalog" which is actually a furoku from the July 1983 MyAnime mag from back in the day.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/29270-macross-magazines/?do=findComment&comment=959464

Can you find it here?
-
LOL...perhaps it was lost in the same vortex that sunk the Chinese cargo ship containing the Toynami Vinyl Glaugs.....

They don't call it MacrossWorld for nothing..... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/41631-item-of-interest-spotted-onebay/?do=findComment&comment=1306531 Old School never gets old!!! BTW, what catalog are you referring to? A catalog with a VF-1A in Hikaru colors would not have included the GBP set, which was only released as a Takatoku branded toy....the VF-1A in Hikaru colors would have been released by Bandai in their Hi-Metal Macross line. Takatoku Toys Catalog circa 1983.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/34685-1983-takatoku-toys-catalog/ Bandai Catalog circa 1985.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/43597-bandai-toy-catalog-1985/ Takatoku GBP promo poster from 1983.....

No better time to watch it than after putting baby back to sleep at 3am....not like you're going back to sleep anyway!
-
What's this I hear.....sh9000 only has one Glaug? Ownership of a single Glaug is not becoming for the King of HMR.....rectify or face forced abdication!

Value of Complete Yamato Collections = Thou$$ands Value of Complete Yamato Collections after the v3 hits = "priceless"

I couldn't find it....maybe closer to release date?

Darotower = King of Valk Box Displays

I prefer to keep my organ attached.....still useful...

I do not mean to raise any unverified concern, but the one thing I have noticed is that none of the valks I own have any yellowing. None are wrapped to the degree you are going for. If anything, I just use single sheets of bubble wrap between boxes to avoid scuffing between boxes. Is there any additional value in sealing a toy for the long term, other than maintaining the integrity of the box's shape? Or will keeping it sealed the way you are showing cause any chemical reactions to "stay trapped" within the box and cause premature damage to the valk?

We will excuse the crudity of this model. You probably didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it. But seriously....excellent work!
-
More or less....I think mine were stiff so did not want to force them to close all the way.....but they probably can....
-
Food is also so overrated!
-
No problem.....If you pre-order now....Bandai and Arcadia will even throw in a Blaupunkt!

toy storage p0rn!
-
If you don't stack them they won't bow....but if you do not have the space yours is a good idea. Make sure that you still store them inside another box or you may get an imprint of the cross shape if dust gets on the rest of the uncovered parts of the box.... If you still need to stack them and do not want to place them into another box...maybe cover it so that only the top and bottom is exposed if you do not want to waste too much of the cellophane wrap.

I would want the GU-11 gunpod to have gattling firing sounds and light effects! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5scT4NdjPw Oh....may as well add transformation FX too.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgcpuECmHlY

You have several rare kits and no doubt posting the pics here will solicit several IM offers.... Your best bet for finding out current prices is to search for them via "SOLD" listings on eBay and YJA..... To search YJA....simply go to this link and change the search term to the particular model you wish to seek past sale information on: used the VF-4 for this example....it is also a good idea to add "マクロス" to your searches....for example: マクロス VF-4, マクロス YF-21, マクロス VF-2SS, etc... http://closedsearch.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/closedsearch;_ylt=A7dPGi5MtwhZ6HUAkRCuGDx8?p=マクロス+VF-4&aq=-1&oq=&x=28&y=28&ei=UTF-8&slider=0&auccat=0 You can do the same for ebay....just type the search term and modify the filter to show only "SOLD" items..... BTW.....I would be interested in the 1/100 GNERL kit....PM me your asking price....thanks and good luck!

I know Takatoku....that Toynami is no Takatoku.... They are worth about 20-25....the problem is that they have a bad reputation for quality and they have been re-released several times....eBay or the MW "For Sale" thread would be your best place to find a buyer....

History of Major VF-1 "reboots" since the release of the original VF-1..... 1982---Takatoku 1/55 VF-1 2001---Yamato 1/60 VF-1 v1 2002---Yamato 1/48 VF-1 2008---Yamato 1/60 VF-1 v2 If you remove the 1/48.....we are currently past due for a v3 of the VF-1 in the now widely accepted 1/60-DX scale...... Who will deliver the Version 3? Who do you want to release the next generation Kanzen Henkei VF-1? More importantly, is your wallet ready?

So did the Gnerl you created follow the specs of the lineart or does it's scale work around your estimation of an "average" Zentran's size? I do not think the "average-sized" Zentran is bigger than a VF-1 Battroid. It would make no strategic sense for the VF-1 to have been designed to be "equal" in height to the average enemy soldier. You would want it to be superior in size so it would have the advantage in potential "hand-to-hand" combat situations. I am sure you are familiar with the available scale lineart.... I think the problem is that there is no "one size fits all" Zentran/Meltran. It does not help that there is no canonical explanation for the wide variation in sizes between Zentrans/Meltrans. However, based on what information does exist and what we can see on film and other media, it is logical to assume that as "biological weapons", the Protoculture probably created the variations in their sizes to fit the need on the battlefield. Thus, although there is an "average" size for both Zentrans and Meltrans in general....it would be incorrect to use that average-sized Zentran/Meltran to "make it fit" into any given mech. Each mech seems to be able to accommodate a certain range size of pilot, thus the "average" would then be for just the specific mech in question. So basically, the average pilot sizes would likely be different for the Glaug, Reguld, Queadluun Rau, Nousjadeul-Ger, and the Gnerl....among others. Especially when it comes to a kit, where precision and accuracy is more important, it is just best to create it according to all of the available specs for the mecha...and then build the pilot to fit into the mech without thinking about "general" average sizing for it, but instead average size for that specific mech. I assume that is what you did for the Gnerl and that is why it looks so much larger than the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1. In other words, your Gnerl is true 1/72 scale, correct?

Until recently, Bandai has not really been that into releasing too much info on what they are up to....so the lack of news is not too concerning to me. If it is released, it makes sense for it to be the big showcase item for the 35th anniversary of SDFM/DYRL....which means we may still need to wait until next year. However, it could possibly just be the item that Bandai is using to see what they can incorporate into their eventual release of an all-new take on a DX-scaled VF-1. So unlike Yamato, they could simply skip the release of their "1/48 VF-1" and go straight to the 1/60-ish DX using and incorporating all they learned from their 1/35 proto. Still, I would prefer a 1/35 VF-1 to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of SDFM.....and then have them scale it down into a DX 1/60-ish version in about 2-3 years.
